She is eating and drinking. But she's being picky about her food. She doesn't want dry crumbles but will eat wet crumbles, and won't eat other soft food like yogurt but will eat grass, lettuce, etc. Her crop has been empty every morning again. She seems to be doing better still. I'm still taking...

She was tial down staring hours on end the day before I decided to put her back with the other girls but as soon as I put her back she was scratching. I was very close to ending her but I'm glad I didn't. The last 2 mornings her crop has been empty and she's eating her regular food mixed with...

I've been doing the mash for a couple days and I can feel her crop was the mash in it this morning. I am also doing vitamin powder, and I was giving yogurt but like I said she really won't eat it.

I've had a sick chicken for over 5 weeks. She started with diarrhea and then shorly after I noticed an impacted crop. She's been on deaths doorstep and back several times with poo ranging from milky white to green to brown. Her crop got the smallest when she was seperated for a week on pureed...

Is there anything I can do to help her?

My 10 month old chickens took a break laying eggs when the temp dipped into the negative 30s. We'll today we got 2 eggs but one was a little off. The shell was thin and bumpy at the top and when I slid my finger across it a piece broke off the egg white leaked out. The hole is where the piece of...

So this morning now her crop was not a hard ball it was more gushy like it's filled with paste and when I massage it it seems to wanna stay however I smash it. She seems uninterested in eating and drinking right after waking up which I find unusual because she always will eat and drink right...

Another update. She's still eating the eggs and yogurt and being pretty normal. She's drinking what seems like a lot of water. I saw her poop and while was wet it was a lot less wet and better looking. I put a picture of what I was able to get but it was kind of scattered about and hard to see.

I fed her water, and mixed one scrambled egg with some Greek yogurt and she was eating that but I took it away to make sure she doesn't eat too much. If I let her out with the flock she will 100% start eating grass and not stop until I put them away. I think grass is honestly what is stopping her up

I have an update. This morning when I let the chickens out I noticed her crop was a little hard golf ball shape and when she pooped it was a white glob with clear liquid. I went back in for about 20 minutes to let her drink water and wake up. When I went back out her crop was no longer hard...

I tried to cut it. It's pebbles for sure. They have a cup of grit and a cup of calcium available at all times

I took the electrolyte vitamin water out. She did have another. It's so green, I'm certain it's from us letting them out more and she's eating a lot of grass and weed for the color but it's still liquidy. I think there's a couple pebbles in it too?? I'm sure they pass grit sometimes but I've...

She is eating and drinking as normal

Yes they do have vitamins, it's a powder mix. I did notice she seemed to drink a lot of it, favoring it over the regular water from the metal 5 gallon waterer. I will check in the morning. Maybe some yogurt will help as well. She once had sour crop and that helped quite a bit. I will check...
